Bảo MyAt the 2025 Golden Globe Awards, Nicole Kidman was nominated for Best Leading Actress along with Pamela Anderson, Angelina Jolie, Tilda Swinton, Fernanda Torres, and Kate Winslet.
Before the award ceremony, the "Australian swan" was expected to make waves with her bold performance in Babygirl, but in the end, the award went to actress Fernanda Torres.
Babygirl tells the story of a passionate affair between a 60-year-old female CEO and her 20-year-old intern. The film was officially released to audiences at the end of 2024 and shocked viewers with its intense scenes between the two lead actors.
Notably, the age difference between Nicole Kidman and her 29-year-old co-star Harris Dickinson continued to be a topic of discussion on social media. The actress revealed that she had to drink nearly 16 glasses of milk (a prop in the film) to achieve the desired "hot" scenes.
"What attracted me to this project was not the steamy scenes, but the voice of female empowerment. Many films of this era are seen through the eyes of men from the 1990s, but in modern society, everything is viewed from a woman's perspective," Nicole shared her thoughts on the intimate scenes in Babygirl.
When asked about acting in intimate scenes with a "younger" co-star 29 years her junior, Nicole asserted that she felt completely comfortable and excited to push beyond her own comfort zone.
"I like the script, I like supporting women in the entertainment industry. My feeling is very comfortable, and I always want to push myself forward, stepping out of my comfort zones," she said.

This is not the first time the famous actress has faced controversy over intimate scenes. She previously had a steamy scene with her ex-husband, actor Tom Cruise, in the film Eyes Wide Shut (1999). In The Blue Room, Nicole had a daring nude scene.
In recent years, the "Australian swan" has continuously featured bold scenes on screen with male co-stars despite being over 50 years old. In 2024, she sparked controversy by playing a lover to actor Zac Efron in the film A Family Affair.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Kidman stated that filming intimate scenes is also part of the art of acting. Therefore, actors need to have a way to execute intimate scenes well, not just relying on emotions.
